They say opposites attract, which might explain why some of Hollywood’s most famous celebs decided to marry everyday civilians who have never been in the spotlight. But their love is proof that celebs and regular Joes like you and I can still have a happy ending in lieu of a Hollywood horror.
Zoe Saldana and Marco Perego
The stunning “Avatar” actress found her one and only in her husband Marco Perego, who’s an Italian artist with ravishing good looks. He also sports an awesome tattoo of Zoe’s face on his arm. They got married back in 2013 and also have twins Cy, Zen, and Bowie.
Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tasha McCauley
The former “Third Rock from the Sun” star married Tasha in 2014. She may not be a Hollywood star, but she shines as the co-founder of Fellow Robots.

Lisa Kudrow and Michel Stern

The couple has twin kids, Zooey and Alexa, and are happy as can be.
Jeff Bridges and Susan Geston
“Starman” actor Jeff Bridges will make you believe in happily ever after. He met Susan while filming “Rancho Deluxe.” She was waiting tables and apparently caught his eye on more than one occasion.
